Sim OVERFLOW BANKS Considerable Damage Done by Deluge When Rivers and Creeks Become Swollen DANGER POINT FOR SCHUYLKILL Tremendous Else as River and Canal Are Made One at Beading—Co dorus Creek Maroons North Part of York City By Asuociated Press. Philadelphia, Jan. 13.—Reports re ceived to-day from the storm-swept, sec tions of Pennsylvania ami New Jersey show that considerable minor damage was done by lwgh wind while in many places the heavy rain caused rivers and I creeks to overflow. The weather to ; day was clearing and the high water i was rapidly receding. The Schuylkill river was high from ' its source in the anthracite coal re ' gions to Philadelphia where it empties ; into the Delaware. In many places it [ was out of its banks causing consider | able damage. Textile mills along th«i i Schuylkill in this city were closed be cause of water in their basements. Snow Impedes Railroad Traffic Iu the northern parts of Pennsylva nia railroad traffic was impeded by doep snow. Exposed places at Atlantic City were again damaged by high water I and severe gales. The Music Hall on ! the ocean end of the Steel Pier, which I was wrecked during the storm last ' month, was further damaged to-day when high seas crashed against it. Portions of the boardwalk south of At i lantic City were damaged and higher j water flooded a part of the upper end of the city at the inlet. The derailment of the Wnshingtnn- N'ew York Express at Perryvi'lle, Md , last night resulted in the death of the j engineer and injuring of the fireman | was due to the locomotive hdtting the . roof of a box car which had been ripped I off by the wind tfn minutes before the I passenger train came along. Rise of 12 Feet in Schuylkill ! Reading, Pa., Jan. 13. — night's ! heavy rain was followed early to-day by a tremendous rise in the Schuylkill. I This morning it was 12 feet above low water mark and had thus reached the : danger point. The tributaries of the J river are overflowing their banks and | a large body of water is pouring down j the valley. The canal and river are | one. The local weather bureau does not 'believe, however, that it will go much higher. Considerable minor dam : age has been done along the river. At t'he height of the storm late last night, the roof of a freight car in a ' southbound train on the Reading rail way was blown clean off while it was passing lxirane. It crashed against tho j wires of the company and put all of | them out of business. Linemen were I hurried to the scene and soon man ; aged to get several of thorn in shape. Trolley Traffic Suspended j York, Pa., Jan. 13.—Thirty hours of ! continuous rain culminated in a flood here this morning from the Codorus ! creek, bisecting the city. Streets and j cellars were under water in the low i lying sections adjacent to t'he stream, j Anxiety was tense just before day I break when the rain ceased, but soon i after 6 o'clock the flood reached its i crest, ten feet above low wate-r mark. ; For several hours North York was cut off from the remainder of the city, trol ley traffic being suspended to that j suburb. Great property damage was caused by floods in various parts of York county. Potomac River Rises Twenty Feat | Hagerstowu, Md., Jan. 13.—Wash-j ) ington county is in serious danger of j great damage by floods, as the heavy j downpour of rain the past two days j has caused all the streams to become very high anrl in several places they ] are overflowing. Prom Williamsport this morning comes the report that the Potomac has risen twenty feet and is still rising. The Cooococheagne creek has also risen while smaller streams have become raging torrents. To add to the high waters there is a great amount of ice at various places along the streams and if this 'break® loose the danger will be considerably greater. Storm's Damage In New England Boston, Jan. 13.—The storm which reached New England yesterday attain ed its maximum strength off tile south east coast at dawn to-day, causing mucft damage in Rhode Island, Connecticut and Southeastern Sum mer residences on Massachusetts ibay, from Sandwich to C«pe Ann, were bad ly damaged. Damage was reported also at Nantucket, Cohanset and other points on the south shore. London Earthquakes (London has not altogether escaped the ravages of earthquakes. In Febru ary and (March of 1750 l<ondoners were startled out of their wits by a terrific rfhock. The people were" BO alarmed that thousands spent the night parading the streets in a starte of fran tic terror, aud Hyde Park was crowd ed with campers out, the more daring wlhiling away the ihours by playing cards by candlelight. FINANCE DULLNESS FEATURES THE EARLY SESSION IN STOCKS Prominent Stocks Assume a More Ir regular Tone. Steel, Beading and Union Pacific Showing Increased Heaviness on Rumors From Abroad 3.1/ Associated Press. Now YorK, .lan. 13. —Wall Street— Metal shares supplied the bulk of tho early trailing in stocks to-day, mostly at advances. Amalgamated, Utah and Inspiration coppers recorded gains pre sumably on the increase of home and foreign demand. Tho list displayed some uncertainty with little or no change in favorite issues.

No. change is recorded from either Petrograd or Berlin in the campaign in Poland. Further important successes in the I campaign against Turkey were an ! nounced to-day. It is asserted that one Turkish regiment was captured, another partially destroyed, and a Turkish posi tion seized with guns and ammunition. Notwithstanding the statement, it is evident that large bodies of Turkish troops are still on Russian soil, and the recent statement from PetrogTad that an overwhelming defeat has been in-' fllcted on the Turks, involving the cap- 1 ture of one army corps and the cutting up of another, is denied officially at Constantinople. Tho statement to-day of the Russian staff attached to the Caucasian army says that resistance has not been broken, stating that obsti nate and bitter fighting is still in progress. Turkish forces which invaded north western Persia and reported unofficially to have captured Tabriz, an important Persian city within the sphere of Rus- I si an Influence, where a Russian military station was maintained. A Constanti nople dispatch last night said that the Russians had retreated from Tabriz In southern Poland the Russians have made another attempt to push across the Nlda river. appartnOy in an effort to advance once more on Cracow. An official Austrian statement says the Russians were compelled to withdraw under the fire of the Austrian artillery. Papal Sermons Rare Strange are the restrictions which hedge about a Pope, and one of the strangest is that he should not be al lowed to preach. Only once in 300 years has a Pope delivered a sermon, and that was under exceptional circum stances in 18.46. On the Octave of the Epiphany a celebrated preacher. Padre Ventura, was to have occupied the pulpit in St. Peter's, but was sud denly taken ill. To prevent disappoint ment to the vast crowd which had as sembled, Pius IX broke through the custom of ages and,ascending the pulpit, delivered a simple, homely sermon thai perhaps impressed its hearers more than the finest eloquence might have done, because of its uniqueness.—'Lon don Chronicle. 11 EXPECTS in unpm Committee's Secretary Says It Will Be Larg er Than at Any Pre vious Ceremony RUSHING WORK ON PLATFORM 1 Workmen Take Advantage of the Pino Day and Get Busy With Hammers and Nails—Political Clubs Seek Places in the Line of Parade If this kind of weather greets the day on which Governor Brumbaugh is inaugurated," said Representative lid win 11.
